Police Chief Craig Miller explained why there is a lapse of time between an incident and the filing of charges.

Miller said police are often working with a confidential informant in drug cases and additional time is necessary to protect the informant’s identity and afford opportunities for additional controlled purchases by a single informant. Another factor is the length of time it takes for laboratory results to come back in drug cases. This can take several months, Miller said.
